Here i will tell you about my k530i modding adventures :-)

2008-04-10 Flashed my phone using this guide http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=20417.

Files i used:
K530_R8BB001_MAIN_GENERIC_NC_RED52.rar
K530_R8BB001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.rar
I also made the quick_access_K530_R8BB001.vkp with qamaker.exe
K530_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_2_R8A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip

After i applyd the first three files i panic´d when i started the phone wtf.....

"Configuration error. Contact your service provider"
but weirdwilli@SENSE helped me with that one.

to fix that error i used K530_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_2_R8A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip

So far so good...

Good thing:
hehe the phone is patched and ive learned some new stuff....
Bad things...
Well my SP´s special things are gone, no biggy but they are gone.
Bugs...

2008-04-12 Flashed my phone using this guide but used W660i files instead http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=20417.

Files i used: http://wowserv.mine.nu/se_files/se_firmware/
W660_R8BB001_MAIN_GENERIC_FY_RED52.rar
W660_R8BB001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.rar
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_2_R8A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip

Removed Operator logo:
Find this line..
<attr value="2"/> <attr value="174"/> <attr value="5"/> <attr value="26"/> <attr value="10"/> <!-- 0 -->
AND change it to
<attr value="2"/> <attr value="174"/> <attr value="5"/> <attr value="-10"/> <attr value="10"/> <!-- 0 -->

Moved Clock and date (Time up and to the left. Date up and to the right):
<attr value="4"/> <attr value="50"/> <attr value="5"/> <attr value="32"/> <attr value="5"/> <!-- Time -->
<attr value="62"/> <attr value="173"/> <attr value="5"/> <attr value="32"/> <attr value="5"/> <!-- Date -->

2008-04-14 Weee added tabbed menus today looks realy nice :-)

More to come as i progress :-D

what are you trying to do ?
there is hardly any development for k530

so i guess flash it to w660

Well as the titel says "A K530i Modding Tale" who said i was done ?? im a noob at this hence i start with the basics and go from there ;-) it will be a W660 sooooon ;-)

Hey mate, your website is not working..
id really like to see your approach towards modding your k530i. i done the same to my new yesterday and so here i am got it to w660i already and now i am customizing bit by bit.

another question: how do you use projectwich mobile themes? they ship in *.dm, but the only theme files i can use are *.thm

Greetings, i love this board
Tim

.dm Files can be send by usb/bluetooth/irda.
Only send this to phone,abd then installs automatic.
Good luck.

i tried that, but still havent had any luck till now. spent quiet some time with my phone (i so love it lol) and i didnt succeed installing it.

i have another problem though: i created a menu.ml file and now on first access the phone says it may render not normal. and indeed, at quickstart menu it does not show any text, what shall i do?


edit: is there an elfpack vkp patch for w660i? Oo i have one which broke the display driver and i had to undo it..

Flash original menu.ml and try to find the mistake in your menu (open it up in xml editor and see if it gives errors.

Search Look here

thank you very much guys got almost everything working except for some elfs (guess thats normal, hu?)

edit: got even many elfs working right <3

i don't want to flash my k530 to w660 i just want to make it use swf files and flash menus how can i do it

That's the only way.

i did a k530 to w660 and the problem he said didn't excist

Can you guys tell me if i can install elfpack on my k530? if yes is there a tutorial for this?
Thx
Eran

Excuse me guys, does it need it all effort to turn k530i into w660 ?! what's the difference between them, my k530i rocks, even it's music player sounds great, why should i take the risk ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
